It's been more than four years since more than $ 2 million was raised through crowdfunding to make a Kermit Gosnell movie, and today, that film finally hits theaters. But you may not know that.

We search high and low for reviews of Gosnell: The trial of the largest serial killer in the United States among the usual suspects, but criticism from critics of the Gosnell movie is slim. Almost nonexistent, really.

As of Friday morning, the only review of the Gosnell film that we found using Google and the Nexis newspaper database is in the Los Angeles Times.

Film critic Michael Rechtshaffen comments that Gosnell's film "can never be confused with a liberal bias", later using terms like "sanctimon" and "sensationalist" to describe it.

Gosnell's film is, of course, an exploration of the crimes of famed Philadelphia doctor Kermit Gosnell, who performed abortions at a medical clinic in West Philadelphia. (In search of source material, the producers of the film Gosnell opted for this story for a long time Philadelphia collaborator of the magazine Steve Volk in 2014.)

In 2013, Gosnell was convicted of first-degree murder for killing three babies in failed abortion procedures. He was also convicted of carrying out illegal late abortions. Prosecutors said he killed babies by cutting their spinal cord with scissors.

Here is a trailer for the movie Gosnell:

"What is that smell? "Ask the character of Dean Cain, a Philadelphia detective, to enter the Gosnell clinic to perform a search, a search that reveals no shortage of body parts and other horrors. Gosnell's role is played by Earl Billings, who is best known for playing Rob in the 1970 comedy "What's Happening!"

Outside of traditional media, there is a lot of coverage of the Gosnell movie.

Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin calls her "the most important movie you've ever heard of." There are reports that Facebook has refused to publish ads for the Gosnell movie. In a recent interview, the filmmakers said they could not publish their ads on NPR either.

Naturally, both sides of the abortion debate have been fighting over the distribution of the film, with pro-life activists pushing theaters to screen Gosnell's film and pro-choice advocates pushing theaters to not do so .

"This film deserves to be seen by everyone," wrote Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Donald J. Trump For President Pro-Life Coalition and president of the pro-life organization The Susan B Anthony List, in an email to supporters early on. this week. "But as you have shown, the mainstream media have no desire to tell the truth about Gosnell and his crimes, they do not want people to know the truth about abortion and they do not want people to know the truth about what goes on behind them. of the closed doors of abortion clinics. "

The availability of the film, perhaps not surprising, changes with geography. It is very easy to go see the Gosnell movie if you live in places like Texas or Alabama, while there is literally only one movie screen in Manhattan that shows the movie.

Here in Philadelphia, the only theater within the city limits that the Gosnell film projects is Franklin Mills. It is also shown in Media, Bensalem, Voorhees, Cherry Hill, Plymouth Meeting and Oaks.
